iPhone 14 Production to Begin Soon as Foxconn Starts Annual Hiring Spree

[citysnaps]

Which new iPhone (or other brand) didn’t get a step up in camera quality?

For me it depends on the magnitude of the step. It varies from year to year. Some are important, others are mice-nuts.

STILL using this same hero image with the wildly inaccurate pill/dot sizes. We have actual CAD images that show the real thing. Have someone make an accurate image and put that up. You know all you're doing is creating a monster for when the real thing comes out and this entire sub has been looking at a fake idealized render for months?

Looking forward to Jony Ive-free iPhone designs.

Every year I tell myself that I don't need or want a new iPhone, and every year I want and buy a new iPhone.

Speaking of iPhone 14, there is rumor that the 6.7" iPhone 14 will be called iPhone 14 Plus. But I expect iPhone 14 model full production to start ramping up in July, especially the iPhone 14 models with the upgraded A15 SoC.

17 Outstanding Photos from Apple's 'Shot on iPhone 6' World Gallery

We share over 1.8 billion photos per day, and thanks to the ever-growing technology in cameras paired with the expansive world of social media platforms it's become increasingly easy to add the title "photographer" to the resume. Apple has searched high and low for the world's absolute best...

people have been taking incredible photos on iphones for years. i dont think you'd have a clue what the definition of quality was even if we pointed to it in webster

Everyone is a photographer, and all photographers are looking for better cameras.

I began my career with Hasselblad, Nikon and Rolleiflex. How times have changed.

As the saying goes - the best camera for the job is the one you have with you.

I can't wait for September. I always love watching the new iPhone announcements.

Coming from a 12 Pro, if the camera tech is a step up and produces good results, I'll purchase one.

As a photographer, iPhones have been my main cameras for the last seven years.

Same, currently 12 Mini but looking forward to returning to a normal size and experiencing the Pro benefits. I don't buy cameras anymore.

Same here. Though I have plenty of cams from the past in a couple of drawers, I haven't purchased a so-called "real" camera in years.

Man that's just a serious low-ball not cool.

I don't know how I feel about that pill design.

I find it a somewhat lateral move from the notch, and at this point the notch is kind of iconic or perhaps infamous, depending on your point of view.

What difference does it make? I happen to be an engineer (systems and hardware). However, I put just as much care, probably more, into each photograph I make. As an aside, I've had multiple gallery shows, and have also engaged in multiple photography projects - most about people in urban environments. Also there's a huge difference between "taking" photographs and "making" photographs. Thus I use the phrase "making photographs."

A camera, whether it's a dSLR/mirrorless/view-camera (I own all three of different kinds, over the years), is simply just a tool.

A strong photograph that evokes an emotional response from viewers has very little to do with the gear used. Rather, it's about the photographer's imagination, life experiences, reading/considering light, ability to compose while deciding what should/shouldn't be in the frame, deciding which details should be hidden (letting them drop into the shadow) or accentuated, recognizing gesture, considering environmental context and supporting elements, and many more decisions than that are made before the shutter is released.

Cameras are like tools in my woodshop. It's what you do with them that counts.

That's right. But good tools in the hand of a skilled craftsman are lead to much better results.
The iPhone camera is slow combined with an inferior spatial resolution using inferior optics.

Everything going as per schedule… and no delays!!

Yes, that's the typical response from people who are more into camera gear and having the never ending quest for the best, rather than making photographs, say.

Outside of some edge cases, the strength of a photograph has very little to do with gear.

Foxconn is offering a 9,000 yuan bonus (around $1,300) to new assembly line workers who stay on the job for more than four months after being hired at its factory in Zhengzhou

I wonder how many will conveniently be let go after 3 months and 29 days

And hire a new batch of workers to train and vetted? A skilled worker is a lot more productive a bunch of trainees; a better bargain in terms of dollar/yuan to boot. Crappy pay is more likely than not, the reason for high turnover.
